In the state of Minnesota, there are currently 642 children waiting to be adopted. These children are residing in group homes, foster homes, residential treatment facilities, and shelters. Ramsey County has around 100 of those 642 children waiting for a permanent home. Not all of the children are pictured on our website, either due to safety or Ramsey seeking another resource for them.
These children are in need of an adoptive home and continue to wait for a special family like you. The children pictured are all considered SURVIVORS! They have all endured some amount of loss, abuse, grief and pain. Some of these children have special needs, due to the behaviors and diagnosis they are labeled with. However, these diagnoses are not always a true reflection of the child, but survival skills and reasonable responses to unreasonable situations. When you read these stories and look at these resilient faces remember, every child deserves a safe and loving home.
